Will Nigerian Leaders Ever Meet God?..(CKN Opinon Page)

I wish to go a bit spiritual today since our cries have been ignored by our leaders.Is it not better for us to call on almighty God to intervene in the crises of conflict and confidence between us and those that rule over us.

Our leaders who deliberately are out to cause and inflict us pains. Who have made us domestic servants in our fathers’ house? .Leaders who have made us paupers in our fathers house full of bounties. Who have collectively stolen our commonwealth and make the rest of us look haggard, without any iota of hope.

Are you saying I shouldn’t hand over the fate of Nigerian leaders into the hand of almighty God and Allah?.

Or how do we explain the plight of a country full of riches and splendor. With all the natural resources that can make life meaningful for all.

How do we explain the plights of Nigerians from Lagos to Sokoto, Kano to Calabar, Ilorin to Benin, Owerri to Abeokuta, Yola to Maraba, Markurdi to Port Harcourt etc.

It’s the same story and to think that Nigerians are a set of patient people is the most annoying part of it. Most of our leaders cannot inflict the kind of pains they give us in other climes without a revolution.

What are we asking for: good roads,clean water,hospital,electricity,jobs and good education.

With these ,we are ready to close of eyes to all their lootings. They will not only loot what belongs to us but even the on kept for our future generation.

Nigerian leaders are the most selfish human beings on earth..The stealing goes beyond being a Tiv man,Igala man,Igbo man,Yoruba man,Hausa-Fulani,Ibira ,Ijaw or even Efik.

It has nothing to do with South South or South East .It has no bearing in being a Northerner or Southerner..They are all of the same.

Go through our local Government, States and even the centre,governance is nothing to write home about.Y ou ll find them in Aso Rock, Houses of Assembly,National Assembly, Government Houses and even in the Judiciary.

They are all of the same making.

Since Independence, Nigeria have always had selfish leaders who put their personal interest over and above the rest of us.

They steal what they need and those they don’t need .They steal for themselves, their children, great grand children and even the ones yet unborn.

They travel abroad weekly, see the way and manners other countries are touching the lives of their citizenry, but cannot come home to replicate same here due to their selfish interests.

Every year, billions of Naira are budgeted for infrastructural developments with nothing to show for it.

The question I have always asked myself is, why it that Nigerian politicians don’t fear God ?.

How come they are not aware that life is all about vanity, how come they never realize that after here, they are answerable to a greater creator?

How come all Nigerian politicians are all the same irrespective of political inclination. You cannot distinguish a PDP politician from that of ACN, labour party or CPC etc.

What Nigeria makes from oil sales daily is enough to turn our country to another Dubai. We are by far, the richest country in Africa . Our citizens are some of the most talented in the entire world.

We have a beautiful climate devoid of disaster. Our land is rich in natural resources. All that is lacking are leaders with vision and mission.

They continue to use politics and ethnic nationality to divide us.

Nigerians generally love themselves. If you doubt me, look out for the next football match involving Nigeria and other countries, you will be shocked by how united we are.

The only annoying part of all these is that our leaders know us inside out. They know how docile we are.

While other citizens of the world will take their destinies in their hands and fight for their rights ,Nigerians will rather prefer to LEAVE IT FOR GOD.Will God come down from heaven to help us?.Even the word of God said, Heaven helps those who help themselves.

This piece should be a wakeup call for all of us, it’s obvious that our so called leaders are only out to feather their nests. They are only interested in their selfish interest.

Their interests lie in themselves and their families. We should put our hands on the plough and ask for the basic amenities of life.

While they can go ahead looting and stealing, they should not deprive us of some of the basic necessities of life which God has generally put in their care for our collective good .

Even at that, Nigerian leaders should know that after here, we will all account for our DEEDS on the last day.
